paramilitary organizations, and is 

promptly punishing those members of 

the Colombian Armed Forces found to 

have committed such violations of 

human rights or to have aided or abetted 

paramilitary organizations; (C) the

and brigade level, with paramilitary 

organizations, especially in regions

ensure that the Colombian Armed 

Forces are not violating the land and
